RA1059.F672 2006 614'.1--dc22 2005055082 Preface Recent political, religious, ethnic, and racial conflicts, as well as mass disasters, have significantly helped to bring to light the almost unknown disci- pline of forensic anthropology. This science has become particularly useful to forensic pathologists because it aids in solving various puzzles, such as iden- tifying victims and documenting crimes. On topics such as mass disasters and crimes against humanity, teamwork between forensic pathologists and foren- sic anthropologists has significantly increased over the few last years. This relationship has also improved the study of routine cases in local medicolegal institutes. When human remains are badly decomposed, partially skeleton- ized, and/or burned, it is particularly useful for the forensic pathologist to be assisted by a forensic anthropologist. It is not a one-way situation: when the forensic anthropologist deals with skeletonized bodies that have some kind of soft tissue, the advice of a forensic pathologist would be welcome. Forensic anthropology is a subspecialty/field of physical anthropology. Most of the background on skeletal biology was gathered on the basis of skel- etal remains from past populations. Physical anthropologists then developed an indisputable “know-how”; nevertheless, one must keep in mind that looking for a missing person or checking an assumed identity is quite a different matter. Pieces of information needed by forensic anthropologists require a higher level of reliability and accuracy than those granted in a general archaeological con- text. To achieve a positive identification, findings have to match with evi- dence, particularly when genetic identification is not possible. Forensic anthropology can also be essential in providing details about identification, even if a DNA profile is compiled. As a consequence, both the potential and limits of forensic anthropology have to be equally taken into account in forensic investigations. However, this perspective is seldom covered in the current forensic literature. Forensic medicine is a known branch of medicine whose origin is difficult to pinpoint, but is surely at least two or three centuries old. Often considered the “medicine of the dead,” it is, however, much more, and today, as in the past, it offers an unquestionable social value to the community, as illustrated in Forensic v vi Preface Anthropology and Medicine: Complementary Sciences From Recovery to Cause of Death. Nevertheless, forensic pathology is undoubtedly the most well-known branch of this specialty, and the one that touches most deeply the aim of Forensic Anthropology and Medicine: Complementary Sciences From Recovery to Cause of Death. This is true for many reasons, but it is certainly owing to a recent, successful “marriage” of forensic pathology to forensic anthropology. There are many textbooks of forensic medicine and pathology, as well as forensic anthropology; however, it is hard to find a reference text that covers all three areas. Forensic Anthropology and Medicine: Complementary Sciences From Recovery to Cause of Death, located on the border between forensic anthropology and forensic pathology, aims to fill this gap. It also claims to strengthen the contribution of forensic anthropologists in all the main stages of forensic work, namely recovery, identification, and determination of the cause of death. These goals will be enhanced when fulfilled within multidisciplinary teams. Crossing over these two fields of knowledge will obviously lead to mutual benefits. This enables forensic pathologists to grasp the anthropological background beneath a routine autopsy, and then to increase their knowledge. Furthermore, we wish Forensic Anthropology and Medicine: Complemen- tary Sciences From Recovery to Cause of Death to be a methodological bridge between different countries of Europe and America. We believe that there is an acute need for spreading knowledge of and expertise in its many powerful techniques and methods across continents. Forensic Anthropology and Medicine: Complementary Sciences From Recovery to Cause of Death is geared particularly toward postgraduate students and researchers in forensic medicine and pathology, forensic anthro- pology, law sciences, and the police. The topics discussed range from indi- vidual recovery and autopsy to specific contexts, such as crimes against humanity and mass disasters. Part I presents both disciplines—forensic anthropology and forensic medicine focused specially on forensic pathology—starting with a brief his- torical background leading up to the point where both sciences meet. Chapter 1 also clarifies their goals, quantifies their collaboration, analyzes both pro- fessional careers, and discusses the challenges of a common future. The dif- ference between the medicolegal systems and organization of forensic medicine and pathology is debated in Chapter 2, which discusses their pros and cons in order to justify the situation of forensic pathology in many parts of the world. The presentation of forensic anthropology in Europe (Chapter 3) takes into account the variety of expertises, cases, backgrounds, training, and accredita- tion in comparison with the United States. vii Preface Part II deals with age estimation of living individuals for reasons of imputability, which is one of the growing subfields of forensic anthropology requiring cooperation between forensic physicians and forensic anthropolo- gists. Chapter 4 explores the whole range of techniques and methods avail- able. The chapters in Part III discuss all the steps of forensic analysis, pre- cisely from recovery to the cause of death. Before starting such an investiga- tion, one must have a comprehensive understanding of the different ways a body can change after death. Among others, a relevant interpretation of the events surrounding a death depends on mastering body decomposition and taphonomic processes. Chapter 5 reviews the states of preservation/decompo- sition, and through

  • Sleuths BEHIND the Scenes for PATHOLOGISTS, the UNUSUAL IS the USUAL
    ON THE COVER sleuths BEHIND THE scenes FOR PATHOLOGISTS, THE UNUSUAL IS THE USUAL. BY HOWARD BELL ennifer Boland’s path to pathology began during her sec- ond year of medical school at Washington University in St. Louis. Boland would take study breaks by looking at Jspecimen slides and images, learning to identify them. “Pathology is a visual science. I found it more enjoyable than memorizing notes,” she recalls. After a surgical pathology elective during her clinical rotations, she was hooked. “In medicine it can be hard to find the field you love,” says Boland, who is now a pathologist at Mayo Clinic. “I was lucky enough to find it.” Boland began practicing at Mayo three years ago, after com- pleting a pathology residency as well as pulmonary and surgical pathology fellowships there. She specializes in pulmonary and bone and soft-tissue pathology. Her particular expertise is in lung and chest sarcomas. “They’re a rare and interesting set of tumors,” she says. “Very few are diagnosed in this country each year.” Like many Mayo pathologists, she spends about half her time evaluating specimens from around the world for Mayo Medical Laboratories and the other half evaluating specimens from Mayo patients. Depending on case complexity, she evaluates around 25 to 50 specimens each day. “I like the mystery-solving of pathol- ogy,” she says. Boland is one of 332 pathologists who practice in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. Often thought of as either white-coated geeks hunched over microscopes or sexy swashbucklers who spend more time solving crimes than analyzing specimens (thanks to TV), pathologists 20 | MINNESOTA MEDICINE | OCTOBER 2014 ON THE COVER OCTOBER 2014 | MINNESOTA MEDICINE | 21 ON THE COVER are sleuths working behind the scenes to ogy, Boland says, adding that many don’t years for neuropathology).

  • Medicolegal Death Investigation Forensic Pathology: Forensic
    Medicolegal Death Investigation Forensic Pathology: Forensic pathology is a specific practice of medicine and subspecialty of pathology that directs its efforts to the examination of dead persons (and sometimes live persons) to provide an opinion concerning the: • cause, mechanism, and manner of disease, injury, or death; • identification of persons; • significance of biological and physical evidence; • correlation and/or reconstruction of wounds, wound patterns, and sequences. Forensic pathology is an integral component of comprehensive medicolegal death investigation. Forensic pathology applies techniques of pathology to the needs and protection of public health, Homeland Security (surveillance and mass disaster operations), public safety, quality assurance, education in medicine, research, jurisprudence, and the administration of justice. The highest goal of forensic pathology is the development of strategies to prevent injury, disease, and death. Forensic Pathologists: Forensic pathologists should be physicians specially trained in forensic pathology and board-certified by the American Board of Pathology or a non- USA trained pathologist with equivalent certification. The practicing forensic pathologist is licensed as a physician in one or more states and is skilled in conducting death investigations, interpreting injuries in both fatal and non-fatal cases, performing medicolegal examinations, determining disease/injury causation to an appropriate degree of medical certainty, and determining cause and manner of death. Forensic pathologists

But official crime statistics measure only some types of crime, such as homicides and assaults, robberies, burglaries, larcenies, and auto thefts. We don't accurately know the extent of consumer fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and corruption, let alone drug sales, sexual assault, or child endangerment. New, "21st Century" crimes-child pornography, identity theft, e-crime, and transnational smuggling of weapons and people add to this complexity. So it is difficult to assess whether crime in the larger sense has actually declined, whether new types of crimes are on the rise, or the extent to which offenders have adapted and migrated into new, lucrative types of criminal activity. Panelists with diverse perspectives consider how we might find the "dark figures" of crimes, and arrest and prosecute the people behind them. What measurement systems need to be brought into being? How do we research these hidden operations and what are the solutions? How do we get ahead of the criminals adapting their methods? What does training for the 21st Century justice system have to accomplish? The panel promises a stimulating and provocative exchange for a diverse audience.

  • New Mexico Mass Fatality Incident Plan
    New Mexico Mass Fatality Incident Plan 2012 Mass Fatality Plan Working Group New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator Michelle Aurelius MD Ross Zumwalt MD Sarah Lathrop PhD Wendy McQuade PhD Chandra Gerrard, RT (R) (CT) Amy Boule, BA, MBA Sharon Pruitt, BS Peter Loomis DDS Amy Wyman MA David Dryden BS Yvonne Villalobos BA New Mexico Department of Health Tom Torok MD Mary Schumacher Carol Karps 1 Plan Finalized June 30, 2012 Executive Summary The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) developed a mass fatality plan (MFP) to describe how OMI will respond to any event resulting in a number of fatalities that overwhelms OMI’s capacity. The MFP assigns roles and responsibilities to OMI staff members, describes how OMI will coordinate response activities with other agencies, and provides specific instructions and contact information for varied mass fatality incidents (MFIs), from aviation disasters to chemical releases to influenza pandemics. In the event of a MFI, OMI will be tasked with removing remains from the scene of the MFI, certifying cause and manner of death, identifying decedents, and returning remains to next-of-kin when possible. These tasks will be accomplished in a manner that ensures the health and safety of responding personnel and respects the dignity of the victims throughout the process. The goal of the MFP is to coordinate OMI’s response to MFIs and outline preparations for the contingencies arising from large numbers of bodies, while maintaining day-to-day operations. When responding to a MFI, OMI will use the Incident Command System (ICS) to deploy resources and personnel and interact with other agencies responding to the event.

    The Bosom Serpent Legend Through History: How The Legend Changes To Address Modern Anxieties – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri University of Missouri A Journal of Undergraduate Writing The Bosom Serpent Legend Through History: How The Legend Changes To Address Modern Anxieties Laine McCall In its simplest form, the Bosom Serpent legend complex includes any story in which a person believes that an animal is living inside of their body. Normally the animal is a snake or lizard, although amphibians and worms are becoming the most common in modern variants (Bennett). Most Bosom Serpent legends begin in the same way: a person mysteriously becomes sick and complains that it feels like something is squirming around inside of them. Then, the patient goes to the doctor and explains that they believe a live animal is inside of them. The doctor does not believe the patient and sends them home. At this point, there are two common ways that Bosom Serpent legends will continue. In one of the common versions of the legend, the patient takes the doctor’s advice and tries to ignore the pain and suffering. Eventually the patient dies and when a medical examiner opens up the body, animals are found inside of the victim. In the other common ending to the legend, the patient is dissatisfied with his or her doctor’s advice and seeks help from someone who practices natural or traditional healing. The traditional healer, often portrayed as a “witch-doctor,” instructs the patient on http://artifactsjournal.missouri.edu/...-serpent-legend-through-history-how-the-legend-changes-to-address-modern-anxieties/[9/15/2014 1:15:57 PM] The Bosom Serpent Legend Through History: How The Legend Changes To Address Modern Anxieties – Artifacts Journal - University of Missouri how to coax the animal out usually using food.
